Frozen Holiday Wish has returned to the Magic Kingdom as the nightly spectacular that turns Cinderella Castle into a glittering ice palace. We were on hand for the inaugural 2015 to capture some of the magic.
Tonight’s premiere follows today’s announcement of several new initiatives to keep Frozen front and center as work continues on the sequel. Here are some things various parts of Disney are working on:
